TEAM ATeam A - Ship Alpha | Flint Westwood - Soldier
((Ah, OK. The way you said it, I thought you meant that if it wasn't a MK1 it would be better. I was under the impression that the UWM recycled their old altered wars tech. Although it makes sense for soldiers near a forge world to have newer equipment...
I'm very tempted to yell... actually, why the heck not?))
Approach the two men while telling them that "I'm a time traveler, I need your help and there's no time to explain!" and trying to look non threatening. That should hopefully distract them. If they don't know time travel is impossible, they'll maybe consider it. If they know it's impossible, the sheer ridiculousness of the statement should give them pause. ((Edit: Maybe they'll think I'm the result of an anomaly, like that spaceman from the Halloween event.))
Once I reach them, remove their helmets or connect with their suits to disable their comms (whatever looks easier to do) while calling for Skylar to do the same.
If I'm successful, tie them up and gag 'em using my rope and search them for any comm devices I might have missed and make sure they can't use them.
If they resist, try to restrain them and prevent them from talking or failing that, punch them.
If they try to run away, try to catch them.
If I can't catch them, fire a warning shot.
If that doesn't work and Skylar doesn't manage to catch them either, shoot to disable.
You leap out from the corner and scream about being a time traveler. They stop the cart for a moment, but only long enough to put it in reverse and start backing away as fast as possible. Huh...

Try not to snicker at that line. Activate EMM and support Flint's plan.
In specific, if they get between me and Flint, be ready to move to cut off their retreat and ambush them on Flint's cue.
If, somehow, someway, Flint successfully bluffs them with this, do a slow clap after they're dealt with.
You'd like to say you're surprised this didn't work. But you're not. Not even in the slightest. You spend the next few seconds banging your helmet against the wall.
TEAM BTeam B 'Wild Weasels' - CO Simus (The i is pronounced like the i in time, by the way, not like the i in sim)
I think I still have a micro-welder from during the infiltration, at least I don't remember giving it back, hang on...
Simus quickly looks through her gear for that welder she took along with the other tools she was given from the infiltration mission, and if she still has is, attempts to reach up and weld the panels above the door shut.
(So, S-eye-mus? Like Simon but with with a lisp? Also, different from what it would be in your full name, assuming your full name is the play on "Simulacrum" It looks like. )
[handi:6+1]
You weld the little door shut. You also somehow manage to weld both feet to the door and now find yourself hanging upside down like some sort of mechanical batman reject.
TEAM CDenzel Gaunt- Team C, Audax
Follow along behind Auron, following the decompression procedures, making sure our teamates do so, and that any UWM personell/traps are dealt with- use my monoatomic sword at close range, my combi-weapon at medium range, and my manipulator at long ranges/bad angles. Be safe about it, though, and stop if we see any traps that we haven't detected yet.
Angel/MGAXT-85674/FR: Team C Audax
Angel looked at the remains of the two crew members
Huh... that reminds me, must remember to see if we can swipe the stuff for lasagna from the galley here
Hang on until the torrent of air subsides, take up rear point and follow Denzel
TEAM C: AUDAXES: THOMAS
"Lasagna?"
Take up point, head in.
Alright, well in the room you just decompressed there are 8 doors, 4 along each wall, as well as a ladder going up and down set in an alcove along the left wall and a ninth door at the end of the little hall of doors. It all seems a bit excessive if you ask me, but these ships were designed by computers trying to get the most possible space out of cramped areas so you have to expect some oddities. Now choose a direction because I have no idea which way you wanna go.
TEAM DTeam D, "Dead Dirtbags" - Thaddeus - Grunt - Ship Alpha
SHIT!
Get behind Milno and stay out of his way. Let him do all the work while I reap all the rewards!
(Edited action)
((@renegade: Knowing how far they are from us and if they are facing our way would help and Milno's the one better acquainted to combat, so that's why my post goes as follows.))
Team D, "Dead Dirtbags" - Milno - Leader - Ship Alpha
"I'll take care of fighting, only act if needed!" Milno hisses as soon as he sees the crewmen before activating the MkIII's enhanced movement mode. "Steve, should we try to keep casualties minimal?"
Activate EMM. Ask Steve whether casualties should be kept to a minimum. Apply the most logical action based on the variables:
In any scenario they aren't all killed and in case they don't have anything protecting their faces from gassing, begin to spew paralyzing gas upon their faces as soon as Milno gets close. In case they have protective gear, take it off in order to allow the strategy to work.
In any any scenario, Milno uses the shield for defense.
In any scenario if the armed enemy seems like a sod, shoot at their head and then heart.
In case they are close and facing our way: Initiate non-kinetic-amp fist-fight to take the gauss rifle from the armed man. Disable all enemies, preferentially by applying paralyzing gas to their collective faces.
In case they are far and facing our way: Fire a single round at the armed man's arm and dash towards them to take the gauss rifle and take care of the rest. Disable surviving enemies, preferentially by applying paralyzing gas to their collective faces.
In case they are close and facing away: Initiate non-kinetic-amp fist-fight to take the gauss rifle from the armed man. Disable all enemies, preferentially by applying paralyzing gas to their collective faces.
In case they are far and facing away: Dash towards the armed man and initiate non-kinetic-amp fist-fight to take the gauss rifle from him. Disable all enemies, preferentially by applying paralyzing gas to their collective faces.
In case more violence is necessary, apply it as needed.
>Casualties are a non-issue. "Copy that, Applying violence."
[dex: 4+1]
[str:3+1]
All of the MK III's rockets activate for an instant as the EMM activates, pushing milno a few inches into the air before hurling him down the hall, closing the 15 or so feet to the targets in an instant. The guard doesn't even have time to raise his rifle before milno has grabbed it with both hands and yanked it up into the guard's chin. The guard tumbles over backwards as Milno swings the rifle like a baseball bat, clobbering one of the crewmen upside the head before hitting the other in the back of the knees, knocking him to the ground and KOing him with a swift kick to the head. Milno hovers there for a moment, looking around for anyone else, before deactivating EMM and dropping back to the ground, holding the rifle in one hand.
TEAM Ehttp://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=137514.0
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Team E - Lerman
Wake up. Swear loudly. Check body for any permanent damage. Again wonder how I injured and K.O.'d myself with a robot body. Continue moving through the ship.
Robot bodies can still get injured and knocked out. It's just harder. Then again, you did just get plastered against the wall by a robotic arm designed to effortlessly carry solid metal shells the size of cars and then fell several stories.
In terms of permanent damage, it appears do have damaged some of the artificial muscles of your back, limiting your movement, as well as damaging one of your shoulders. Nothing that should prevent you from walking or running though.
Team E
See if I can plug Steve into the keypad somehow so he can hack it for me. If I can't, just use a cutter on the door and keep going.
He can, but it would require an Aux roll to get it open and to plug it in correctly. Using the cutter would probably be faster, but it also might trigger alarms.
Team E
Wake up Lerman. Continue keeping a lookout for enemies and doors.
Doors have been found. Enemies...well that depends. Does common sense count? Because certain people have been fighting it quite aggressively.
TEAM FShip Beta?: Team F: Grate
Quietly enter the hallway, then realize that there's no way I'll blend in and take point normally.
...Well, as normally as possible, given the situation.
Survey the hallway.
(The teams are on the following ships, so you can stop putting a ? there.
Alpha: TEAM A, TEAM D (near A team) and TEAM H
Beta: TEAM C, TEAM F
Gamma: TEAM G
Delta: TEAM B
Epsilon: TEAM E)
Brother Lars: Team F Chaplain, "Defenders of the Faith
Lars performs a complex holy gesture; with the gun and the suit, it looks a bit ridiculous. "Praise Ingram, for he hath blessed us with his favor! Now we shall honor his blessing by continuing forth in Steve's holy work!"
Continue forth in Steve's holy work, by headed further toward the bridge. We are in Ship Beta, right? Not hearing anything from Steve makes Lars antsy.
Team F for Fail
Follow Lars while staying alert for enemies or anything else strange.
Team F, Dominika Novak
Continue to be in back and trying not to die.
Team F shoves the infinitely expendable Grate through the hole in the wall. After he goes through several seconds of uninterrupted living, the rest of the team follows him through. The intersection has several branches, but only 3 of them have any sort of colored line. One to the left is green, one that is about central, maybe a bit to the right, is blue, and one to the far right is red.
TEAM GTEAM G
"Fuck it, Renen! kick the door down!"
direct renen
Team G
Try to cut open the door via doc sword's iaijutsu. Keep looking for the control room, always staying safe and behind my teammates. If any attack or trap happens, enter BT and avoid.
Renen steps forward, places his hand on the grip of his sword, assumes a practiced stance and appears to just sort of stand there for a few seconds before standing back up and taking a few steps back. After another few anxious seconds, someone is about to say something when the door neatly crumbles into about 50 small square pieces.
Renen steps through the hole and out into the hall beyond. The hall itself is completely dark, but he can make out a set of three colored lines on the ground, green, blue and red, all heading right.
TEAM HHasala Nabin, Team Kappa (H) Mission Control
((Yeah, I'm aware of the Sod teams' abilities and equipment. I was the one who tried to use the grenadiers' EMP grenades against the drones before the drones were retconned out, if you don't remember.))
Squad advances to the intersection and keeps eyes on the hallways while the support Sod uses the interface (unless it's my character that has to make the Aux roll, in which case charge a dynamic bonus for getting the map). One guy takes his helmet off so I can watch the fourth hallway; one of the other Sods can relay any orders given to him until he puts the helmet back on.
Priorities for the interface:
- Calling up a map of the ship and downloading it into the Sod's suit/the base mainframe/uploaded to Steve ((The meta, it burnsss...))
- Hacking into the security system and disabling any automated or activatible internal defenses, if possible
- Disabling the ship's comms
If this is just an interactive map or something, ignore the last two, obviously.
(Make sure to just post it has "Team H" because thats what I search for it as.)
The terminal itself seems fairly restricted in terms of what it can do, it has limited access to the rest of the ship, but using it to hack into security or otherwise mess with the ship would be fairly difficult and probably be noticed. It would take a turn to do, and it would only shut things down for a short time before the crew got them back online, assuming you allow them to do so.
